corporation Application April 6, 1933, Serial No. 664,746 RenewedFebruary 26, 1937 i claim.. (o1. got-56) This invention relates to animprovement in cosmetic holders, particularly designed for a holder forlipsticks.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple construction oiholder, the parts of which are readily struck up from sheet metal, andby which the cover may be opened and the lipstick projected by a singlemovement of a push button.

The invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described andparticularly recited in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1l is a perspective view of the top, detached; and

Fig. l2 is a perspective View of the bottom, de-

tached.

In carrying out my invention, the casing is formed from two parts, thebottom part comprising a bottom l5 and sides I6, formed with iianges il.The top part consists of a top I8, front i9 and back 23. Preferably thewalls of both members are tapered and the top` I8 is formed with aclearance opening 2|, the front wall with a slot 22, and the rear wallwith guideribs 23, and the ends of the top are extended and turned down,forming lips 24 which, when assembled, overlap the upper ends of thesides I6.

The sides of the front and back are also formed with notches 25 toengage with indentations 26 in the flanges of the side walls betweenwhich the front and back extend, the lower ends ofthe front and backbeing held in vseparated position by ribs 21 formed in the bottom l5.

Pivotally connected with the iront and back, near the lower endsthereof, are cover-members 28, each comprising a yoke 29, a front wall30,

a spring-finger 3l and a top plate 32. Preferably the top IB will betransversely bowed and 5 the top plates 32 will be correspondinglyshaped. The adjacent edges of the cover-members 28 have straight edges33 and near their lower ends are formed with reversely-iormedcam-notches 34.

Before assembling the casing, a container or 10 elevator 35 is placed inthe container in which it is guided for vertical movement by the ribs23, and xed to the container is a finger-piece 36 having a shank 3lwhich extends through the slot 22, between the edges 33 of thecover-mem- 15 bers, and into engagement with the elevator, thecam-surfaces being located adjacent to the lower ends of the slot 22.

A lipstick 33 is placed in the elevatorl 35. In the closed position ofthe device, the spring-iin- 20 gers 3l hold the top plates 32 togetherand close the opening 2i. When the finger-piece 36 is raised, the firstmovement separates the adjacent edges 33 of the cover and moves theplates out of alignment with the opening 2|. A con- 25 tinued upwardmovement of the finger-piece projects the lipstick through the opening2l for use, and the cover-plates are maintained in the open position bythe shank 3l between their adjacent edges, the elevator be'ing guidedbetween the ribs 30 23. When the iinger-piece 36 is moved downward andapproaches the lower end of the slot 22, the shank acts on the cam 33and moves the two cover-members together and brings the plates 32beneath the opening 2 l the cover-mem- 35 bers being normally held intheir closed position by the action of the springs 3|.

This construction permits of the production of a lipstick holder in anattractive form and of convenient shape, and one readily operated by 40one hand of the user.

I claim:

A cosmetic holder comprising a casing formed in two parts, onecomprising a bottom and side walls, and the other a top, front and back,these 45 parts being adapted to be connected together, an opening formedin the top, cover-members pivotally connected with the front and backand each having a top-plate adapted to close the opening in the top, anelevator' within the cas- 50 ing, and means for raising the elevator andseparating the cover-plates.

ALBERT HAGEL.
